Aye, Tom, Kyle and Anand colaborated to use Toms Linux compilation benchmark on the three chips they had between them. As I remember none of those chips would complete the test.
Cheap, tight, rubish laddie, we transcend even our dreadful rep. You should see my system, cost me about £250($400 I think), and that includes upgrading the mobo once and the CPU twice.
(K62-500, 128Mb PC100, 5Gb HDD (3+2), SB128 PCI, Ext v90 Modem, Dual-Head (8Mb RagePro PCI + 32Mb Geforce2 Mx + a spare monitor I don't know what to do with), Dual Boots win98 and Mandrake 7.1)
Um maybe I'm mad but I was under the impresion that Durons were manufactured exclusively in Austin on Aluminium. Dresden only runs at 50% capacity right now and produces T-birds on Copper.
If anyone knows better and can tell me where to get Dresden Durons I'd be a very happy man. Durons clock higher then equivalent T-birds due to having more voltage overhead to play with and I'm sure a Duron with copper interconnects would clock higher still.
As to why Durons sell better here (I'm in Scotland), search me. Could be that most folks here bought celerons to OC them and Duron is just so much better for that.
